Here is some info shared by this candidate regarding working with school community stakeholders:
As the current Dean of Students for another local school district, I have experience with this. I have led Parents as Partner events to help us make decisions that are in the best interest of student success and mental health. Parents as Partners would be considered a regular town halls. These are open forums where the community can ask questions, voice concerns, and offer suggestions. Include both in-person and virtual options to accommodate more participants. These town halls focused on particular issues, such as curriculum changes, mental health, or policy shifts. We facilitate structured discussions to ensure all voices are heard. We also utilize student groups to encourage student-Led discussions. This empowers students to organize and lead discussions around issues that directly impact them, such as curriculum relevance or mental health policies.
We also use surveys periodically to gather input on curriculum preferences, budget priorities, and policy concerns. We utilize multiple platforms (email, social media, and physical surveys) to reach a wider audience. The key is to ensure that input is valued by showing how feedback is considered in decision-making processes. We share results and how that translates into subsequent actions taken.
